Representation ID: 13180

Received: 21/02/2018

Respondent: Wroxham Parish Council

Representation Summary:

The village does not require another speculative development of larger family detached dwellings. Wroxham is overwhelmingly chosen by its residents as a retirement village and has a population substantially older than most similar sized communities in the GNLP area. We have an urgent demand for retirement properties, bungalows and apartments in the village for existing residents to downsize into while they remain in the village. This would help free up sizeable properties in the heart of Wroxham currently occupied by one or two elderly people. This site would be ideal for this purpose.
